According to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority data, the first four months of this year showed a decrease in the overall number of visitors. Mark Wayman, a recruiter for executives in the gaming and casino industries, told Business Insider in May that Las Vegas bookings through the summer are “the worst I’ve ever seen.”
Air traffic into Harry Reid International Airport is also trending downward, as domestic travel for the first half of 2025 was down 4% compared to last year.

For reference, I moved from the US to Canada but kept the same job role with the same company. My pay took almost a 50% cut (factoring in the conversion rate).
This is part of what I don’t understand. Cost of living in most major cities (Vancouver, the GTA, and to some extent Montréal) generally isn’t 50% less expensive than living in the USA. Yes healthcare is covered, but housing and food prices are quite high.
I don’t understand why IT wages are so suppressed there.
